Comprehensive write-up

I read the article 'Diagnosing Growth' by Sonal Shukla in the June edition of Express Healthcare. In my view, it is one of the most well written and comprehensive write-up on the diagnostic industry so far. Wish more journalists had such skill. Best of luck.

Impressive content

I just went through the article 'Raining Funds' by Rita Dutta. I am quite impressed with the content and the way it has been written. The parameter for selecting investee companies was a nice checklist. It is great to see that so many private equity players are looking into Indian healthcare for investment. The best part is that they are not just focused into hospital chains but also into retail pharmacy, diagnostic chains, specialty healthcare chains, research and healthcare education. This approach will help to grow healthcare in all dimensions.

Well Researched Article

This is my first letter to Express Healthcare. The article by Rita Dutta 'Raining Funds' which talks about PE funds was well researched, well done and very informative.

I wish to congratulate her for the same. I would like to read a write-up on the availability of seed capital or start up fund for hospitals. I feel such an article would inspire the entrepreneurial zeal among the budding doctor-entrepreneurs.

Wishing you all the best. Keep up the excellent work.

Informative Editorial

This is with reference to the editorial for the month of May-08 written by Rita Dutta on 'Meeting Manpower Shortage.' I regularly go through her column and I find it very informative, but her suggestion for opening-up or rather encouraging the private players for running the medical colleges in India, may be detrimental for all of us in the long run. At present, the Medical Council of India (MCI) does not have that much of capacity or efficiency to regulate all the medical colleges. Therefore, MCI needs to improve themselves in all senses, otherwise a parallel type of regulatory body needs to be evolved to regulate the activities of private players in medical education.

But the suggestion for decision making at the Commonwealth level is quite justified and relevant one.

Interesting Article

This is with reference to the edit opinion written by Rita Dutta on female foeticide, titled 'Step Up Against Female Foeticide.' It is an interesting article indeed. Looking forward to more such useful write-ups.
